I just use dish soap. It breaks down oil faster than acetone, cleans dirt, is safe for ALL materials , and costs like $2.50 a jug. Its also kinda thick, glob some of that on a tooth brush and scrub away. That O'Donnell crap will cost like $17 after shipping, total rip off. Simple green is also pretty good, it makes your car smell like its environmentally friendly.

You build things and you haven't heard of Simple Green? It's basically the ultimate cleaner that doesn't really damage anything. It also smells more pleasant than ca lone and Febreeze!

Simp green is great stuff. Better than paying 10$ not to mention shipping.
